Zhang recalled how she and Wang decided to take the speedboat rather than the car back to their hotel in Hong Kong after filming as they wanted to escape the glare of the paparazzi.

“It was an impromptu decision and it was fun as we sped through the waters in a raging thunderstorm. I enjoyed myself and I find that very romantic as well,” she said.

My Lucky Star sees Zhang breaking away from her usual serious roles to play a silly, clumsy woman who yearns for love.

Her character Sophie wins an all-paid trip from China to Singapore and bumps into handsome David, who happens to be a CIA agent.

She tries to woo him while he is on a mission to arrest some criminals, and ends up getting involved in his mission.

In one scene, Zhang dresses up as a nurse and pretends to be a dancer in a club to seduce a criminal.

Zhang, who made her movie debut in 1999 when she was 19 in director Zhang Yimou’s The Road Home, has acted in international box-office hits such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) and Memoirs Of A Geisha (2005).

Affable

The star, who often gives off an ice-queen image, is affable in person, answering questions from the local media in a friendly and candid manner.

“My personality in real life is more similar to Sophie. I am quite bubbly and naughty, and I like to tease people I am close to.

“Even though I seldom act in comedies, it felt natural acting in this,” she said.

“I think people’s impression of me is that I am quite a serious person because of the movies I have acted in before.”

When asked about the kiss she and Wang shared in one of the scenes, Zhang teased Wang, who was also at the press conference, saying: “Oh, it was so thrilling kissing Wang, the man of all girls’ dreams. I am such a lucky girl.”

She added jokingly: “We did such long takes for the kissing scene, and we shot it many times as well.
